The Four Cs

Diamond Rarity

Diamond

At Helzberg Diamonds, we pride ourselves on having extremely strict standards for diamond quality - especially when it comes to the cut of our diamonds. We stand behind every diamond that goes into every piece of our jewelry, ensuring that it lives up to the standards we have upheld since 1915.

The basics of diamonds has always come down to the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity and carat weight.

Cut: The cut of a diamond affects how well a diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well cut diamond will appear brilliant and fiery.

Color: A diamond's color is a measure of the stone's whiteness, meaning it is actually measuring the lack of color a diamond has.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the presence (or lack) of imperfections. Generally, the more imperfections (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower the clarity.

Carat Weight: A carat specifically measures a diamond's weight. Because of its rarity, one larger diamond is more valuable than a combination of smaller diamonds.

I got a 1.55 ct solitaire engagement ring that I added a wrap to and then placed this band on both sides. I wanted flashy and thats what I got with this 3 ct tw gorgeous ring(s). I absolutely love it and so many people compliment me on it and admire it. It sparkles so much, I just love looking at it. The picture don't do it justice.

My husband purchased a solitaire the first time, then we went in for bands and found these and had to have the 2. Then I took the diamonds out of the first band and recreated the halo around my diamond and now have this custom made ring made for me. So it all now sits on just one band and I love it. I have a separate wedding band that we purchased elsewhere that works great with this ring. So as you can see, I took these two beautiful bands and made them into 1. Love it and I have to say the diamonds do have a beautiful sparkle to them. Couldn't be any happier! :)

My fiance purchased the first one as my wedding band this past Christmas. We're getting married in April of '09 and he said the ring didn't look complete so he bought the second one for me this Valentine's Day. I love the way the two of them look w/my already 2 ct. engagement ring. For the price, who can beat the quality of these enhancers?

I love this ring. My hubby bought this on a whim when I said ooooh I like it. It looks perfect next to my engagement ring and I love the sparkle. It is definitely not overpowering but it is noticed by everyone. I get a million compliments.
